In Futrli's reporting tool, you have the option to add comparisons. Below are some examples of data comparisons you can make when building a report widget, and how to do it.


Compare a date period against another using column formulas

  1. On a table in a Futrli report you have the option to add a range of pre-built column formulas. When editing a widget, click the Columns tab.
